Sino-US Forum/Workshop on Environment-Enhancing Food, Energy and Water Systems, June 13 - 15, 2018, Beijing China

1744775(张)。本次研讨会将重点关注环境强化食品、能源和水系统（EE-FEWS）的范例，该范例通过生物/化学/热转化和生物废物流中营养物质和废水的多循环再利用产生大量生物能源和食物，解决关键问题。同时，EE-FEWS试图通过捕获碳和清洁废水来提高环境质量。据估计，美国有7900万吨可持续收集的牲畜粪便和食品加工废物。通过EE-FEWS方法，这种生物废物流有可能通过多循环养分和废水再利用而扩大到2.4 -8亿吨混合藻菌原料，这些原料可以通过热液液化（HTL）转化为1.2 -4亿吨生物原油，同时清洁约79亿吨废水。此外，生产食物将不需要额外的活性肥料或水。本次研讨会的目标是在分享和推进以下知识方面取得重大进展：利用现成的生物废物和生物质投入；提高生物废物/生物质转化效率（包括热化学、生化和生物）；证明原始生物废物中的营养物质可以在转化过程中有效分离并多次重复使用，从而扩大生物量，产生前所未有的生物原油；并确定原始生物废物中对环境有影响的化学物质可以通过转化和废水处理过程大量去除/转化。讲习班将为代表性不足的少数民族、工业界和一般公众提供广泛的教育和推广机会，从K-12到研究生课程。教育目标是培养具有坚实基础和广阔视野的新一代科学家和工程师，以解决与食物-能源-水（FEW）关系相关的问题。通过回收营养物质和提取废物流中的碳氢化合物，生产高价值食品，通过种植藻类捕获碳和清洁水，目标是能够生产所需的能源和食物，同时，重复利用水并提高环境质量。传播计划是利用研讨会网站，电子邮件列表，专业联系等方式，提高人们对（FEW）联系挑战的认识，开发相关技术，并为社会的可持续发展做出贡献。研讨会定于2018年6月13日至15日在北京举行。

1744775 (Zhang). This workshop will focus on the paradigm of Environment-Enhancing Food, Energy and Water Systems (EE-FEWS) that addresses critical problems by generating significant amounts of bioenergy and food via bio/chemo/thermo conversion and multicycle reuse of nutrients and wastewater in the biowaste stream. At the same time, EE-FEWS seeks to enhance environmental quality by capturing carbon and cleaning wastewater. The U.S. has an estimated 79 million dry tons of sustainably collectable livestock manure and food processing waste. Through the EE-FEWS approach, this biowaste stream has the potential to be amplified via multi-cycle nutrient and wastewater reuse to 240-800 million tons of mixed algal-bacteria feedstocks that can be converted into 120-400 million tons of biocrude oil via hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL), while cleaning an estimated 7.9 billion tons of wastewater. Additionally, food would be produced without the need for additional reactive fertilizer or water. This workshop is targeted to contribute significant advancements in sharing and advancing knowledge of the following: utilizing readily available biowaste and biomass inputs; improving efficiency for biowaste/biomass conversion (including thermochemical, biochemical and biological); demonstrating that nutrients in the original biowaste can be efficiently separated in the conversion process and reused multiple times, thus amplifying biomass to produce unprecedented amounts of biocrude; and establishing that the chemicals of environmental concern in the original biowaste can be substantially removed/converted through conversion and wastewater treatment processes. The workshop will involve a broad range of education and outreach opportunities from K-12 to graduate studies, for under-represented minorities, industry and the general public. The educational goal is to educate a new generation of scientists and engineers equipped with a solid foundation and broad perspectives for addressing issues related to the nexus of Food-Enegy-Water (FEW). By recycling nutrients and extracting hydrocarbons in waste streams, producing high value foods, capturing carbon and cleaning water by growing algae, the goal is to be able to produce needed energy and food, and, at the same time, reuse water and enhance the quality of the environment. The dissemination plan is to utilize a workshop website, email lists, professional contacts, etc. to reach out and enhance the awareness of the (FEW) nexus challenge, to develop relevant technologies, and to contribute to the sustainability of society. The workshop is scheduled to be held June 13-15, 2018 in Beijing.
